I need help from any Alduin users who willing / brave enough to test out a new color setting before it's announced as stable in the next version. As you can see from the screenshot, it's a dark brown UI, with the standard Alduin color palette. The catch is that it's Alduins first use of the new gui colors for terminals. Here are the requirements in order to enable this setting:

Requirements for Teminal Users:

1. Any terminal that supports 24 bit color. list of 24 bit terminals
2. Vim >= 7.4.1799

Requirements for Teminal Users:

1. Tmux >= 2.2 TrueColor in Tmux

in your vimrc

set termguicolors
let g:alduin_Shout_Summon_Odahviing = 1
colo alduin

***Note to any Vim User who is having an issue getting the gui colors to display in the terminal using the settings above. Please check out the vim help on the subject. I found that some users will need to input additional settings in the .vimrc

set t_8f=^[[38;2;%lu;%lu;%lum
set t_8b=^[[48;2;%lu;%lu;%lum

The "^[" is a single character. You enter it in INSERT mode by pressing CTRL+V and then ESC.

More help from Vim:
:help xterm-true-color

Requirements for Gui Users:

1. None ( should work out of box )

It would be really cool to support "truecolor" for terminals, this is a neovim feature for 16-million color selection. This has been done for solarized:

https://github.com/frankier/neovim-colors-solarized-truecolor-only

As the title says, do you have an Xresources file to pair with this fantastic theme? I found this, but I assume you would tweak it a bit. If not, I'll just go ahead and use it as-is.

Thanks again!!

Any plans to migrate the scheme to a framework where selection does not overwrite the syntax highlighting on the text?
https://neovim.discourse.group/t/visual-selection-transparency/1661

also, not sure if this is something treesitter support would fix but it will highlight member functions different if they are prefixed with _ character.

This is only a problem with g:alduin_Shout_Become_Ethereal set. I'd suggest highlight CursorLine ctermbg=235 guibg=#262626, which looks like it works with Ethereal both set and unset. Respectively:

Hi, excellent colorscheme. I've been trying to get it installed and I'm having some trouble. I have installed many other colorschemes before successfully.

I placed the alduin.vim file in my .vim/colors directory, but when I select it as the default theme, I get white text on my dark background. I've used other 256 colorschemes before, and I tested my terminal color output just to be sure.

Does alduin.vim have a dependency on another file, by chance? Is this something that you've dealt with before?

I can't find Arcadia theme on github.

Sometimes I want to reuse the colours from the alduin theme in my vim config, it would be really neat (if possible), so be able to access alduin.colors as a variable of some kind. That way I could define custom highlight groups & such, by reusing the colours defined there.

it would be really neat to try and become compatible with base16,

I put this together using a converter from iterm to xdefaults, then using the rgb values as the bases:

scheme: "Alduin"
author: "Alessandro Yorba"
base00: "1c1c1c"
base01: "8b5f61"
base02: "d69f74"
base03: "747474"
base04: "8b373c"
base05: "5f3a3c"
base06: "87875f"
base07: "878787"
base08: "444444"
base09: "9e744d"
base0A: "c79a71"
base0B: "fed975"
base0C: "9e4c40"
base0D: "af0000"
base0E: "87afaf"
base0F: "ffffff"

It looks pretty neat, on my terminal, not so much in vim itself! :( I'm not sure what to look at next, however, it may be obvious to you what is up.

https://github.com/kowalskey/base16-builder/ This fork of the builder (if you use my above base16 scheme), will generate iterm files, & a number of others you may want to try out.

Hopefully you can reduce the load on yourself (maintaining multiple files), and bring support to a number of configs.

Hi there. Thanks for the colorscheme, it's beautiful!

Just a thing that bothers me: the CursorColumn color is very light and it's a bit disharmonious.

Wouldn't it be better and more logical to set the CursorColumn's color the same as the CursorLine's color?

I've been bouncing back between Ethereal Mode and Dragon Aspect, and I haven't even touched the default Alduin since adding either of the theme options. I realize that colors are totally subjective but I can help wonder if Dragon Aspect is just superior.

Wondering if any of you have tried Dragon Aspect?
Do you like it better than the default?
Should Dragon Aspect be the standard?

there is an issue open in the vim repository, to distribute more colorschemes with Vim. Would you kindly give your permission to distribute this colorscheme with Vim?

Hey @AlessandroYorba thanks for making this theme, it is my current colour scheme for my vim workflow.

I would like to know if alduin would be getting any future support for light theme? I've tried to create a light theme for this colour scheme but I have been struggling to understand how do I modify the project.

If there is no plan would you share some tips on how to edit this project? As I think an alduin light mode would just complete this colour scheme and potentially compete with gruvbox.

Setting time based variables to change aspect of a colorscheme is something that should be a task for the .vimrc and not the responsibility for the colorscheme. Keeping it in the .vimrc also has the added benefit of creating other special conditions or settings that complement each users personal preference. I will add a gist or just update this issue with some legacy code for Vampirism so that you can add it to your .vimrc
😈

Love this theme, but there's just one thing..!

With my block cursor on the opening parenthesis, it actually looks like it's on the closing one:

A funny this is, when that Vim window isn't focused, ie. I'm doing something in another window, it looks like this:

You can use my screenshots for promotion. Thank you!

hello,

There appears to be no change from the default UI when I add the settings for darker and lighter variants of alduin to my vimrc. I was able to change Highlight! Folded colors.

Can't see what, if anything, I'm doing incorrectly.

Help appreciated, Gilbert

Superb theme. Would be awesome to see ports for other editors.

Too dark for me :-)

How about highlight Pmenu ctermfg=101 ctermbg=233 guifg=#87875f guibg=#121212?

Hi Alessandro,

Thanks for sharing this theme. It's super neat! One question: Would you consider applying a version number? I'm asking because I want to make an archlinux package, and without a version number this can be tricky.

What would you think of adding some lines to the code that would set a default color scheme for vim terminals? You could do this for vim by adding:
let g:terminal_ansi_colors = ['#5f5f87', '#af5f5f', '#87875f', '#af875f', '#878787', '#af8787', '#87afaf', '#dfdfaf', '#878787', '#af0000', '#875f5f', '#8787af', '#5f8787', '#5f5f87', '#5f875f', '#5f8787']

and for neovim by adding the
let g:terminal_color_0 = '#5f5f87'
let g:terminal_color_1 = '#af5f5f'
let g:terminal_color_2 = '#87875f'
let g:terminal_color_3 = '#af875f'
let g:terminal_color_4 = '#878787'
let g:terminal_color_5 = '#af8787'
let g:terminal_color_6 = '#87afaf'
ect lines for whatever colors you deemed to be the best.

There doesn't seem to be an official Emacs version of Alduin. I would love to create it!

@AlessandroYorba would you link to the Emacs version if I create it?

Image files are huge and they are carried around everytime someone wants to use your colorscheme. I think it's possible to upload the screenshots in a github issue and just use the URL generated once uploaded.

Closed folds are a bit too dark for me:

How about highlight Folded ctermfg=138 ctermbg=235 guifg=#af8787 guibg=#262626?

Right now, I don't know if this is a feature. I have a feeling it isn't. My code right now looks like this:

https://i.imgur.com/vLF2kLZ.png

As you can see, there is a bit of highlighting going on, on the words 'ycmd' and 'third_party'.

Any ideas as to why, or how to get rid of this?

Looks a bit striking against the suggested CursorLine colour, and a bit too bright for the theme as a whole, I think:

How about making it the same colour, with SignColumn ctermfg=14 ctermbg=235 guifg=Cyan guibg=#262626:

Is there something broken on my side or is the SpellBad highlight group hard on the eyes?

Any news on a new stable release?
